Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sudden cardiac death remains a major concern, accounting for 50% of all cardiovascular-related mortality. Notably, in half of the cases it represents the first manifestation of disease, with incidence increasing with age.
The 2022 ESC guidelines highlight the crucial role of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and arrhythmic risk stratification across different clinical scenarios. They also provide important updates on the value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and genetic testing, while underscoring the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving clinical cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiac imaging specialists.
Despite these advances, a considerable number of patients still fall into a grey zone, where making the most appropriate management decision remains challenging.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather experiences and perspectives on “arrhythmic risk stratification” in patients with various forms of cardiomyopathy and channelopathy. We welcome both review articles and original research contributions, with the shared goal of advancing discussion on this complex topic and ultimately improving patient care.
